Chapter 703: 701 Scroll_1

Central Cathedral, Winterfell City.

The melodious hymns reverberate in the prayer hall, creating a solemn, profound atmosphere that enveloped the entire space.

Colin stood on one side of the hall, watching as Cusius the Mage’s son Abi staggered towards the baptismal font.

In order to make Cusius work wholeheartedly for him, he not only took Abi on as a student, but also arranged for the boy to be baptized.

Of course, Cusius had previously approached Vera, who agreed to give Abi a baptismal slot.

However, the baptismal slots in the Church were limited, and Abi’s baptism ceremony was initially scheduled for next year.

...

Colin personally intervened this time, forcefully making a way for Abi to get baptized sooner.

The earlier the baptism ceremony takes place, the better. This allows the baptized person to cultivate a familiarity with the Holy Light, and ascend the knight ranks as quickly as possible.

Usually, the legitimate children of high nobles are baptized shortly after their first month.

Therefore, Colin truly put all his efforts into caring for this new student.

At this moment, Cusius the Mage, who was standing next to him, showed an expression full of excitement and pride, clearly satisfied with Colin’s arrangements.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Abi had now reached the edge of the holy water pool.

The retired Bishop asked in a solemn voice:

“Lost lamb, suffering sinner, Abi, are you willing to dedicate everything you have to the Lord of Glory, until death?”

Abi tightened his little face and nodded vigorously, answering:

“I am willing!”

The retired Bishop then revealed a smile, lifting Abi into his arms, slowly immersing him into the pool of holy water, while saying:

“Immerse yourself in this pool, and you will be separated from the filth;

Immerse yourself in this pool, and your sins will be washed away;

Immerse yourself in this pool, and you will be cleansed again…”

In preparation for this baptism, Cusius the Mage had trained Abi beforehand. Therefore, after being submerged in the holy water, the little boy merely closed his eyes tightly without struggling blindly.

The retired Bishop’s voice suddenly rose:

“May the Glory of the Supreme Lord forever shine on the path you walk!”

A sacred breath suddenly burst forth from the pool of holy water, which quickly returned to calm. The baptism ceremony was thus concluded.

The retired Bishop lifted Abi out of the pool of holy water and handed him to Cusius the Mage who had rushed forward.

The person sitting on the armchair was dressed in a loose white Tang suit. He held a purple clay teapot in his right hand and was slowly counting the Bodhi pearls in his left hand. After counting them one round, he held the white jade pendant in the center and slowly rubbed it.

This person was none other than Gong Monan.

His mental state looked very good, and his eyes were very bright and spirited. If you only looked at his eyes, you wouldn’t think that he was a man in his forties at all.

Gong Monan didn’t seem to hear the woman in black at all. He took a sip of tea from the purple clay teapot.

The woman in black was furious because she was ignored. She raised her voice and said,”Mr. Gong …”

As soon as he finished speaking, the person standing behind Gong Monan suddenly pulled out a gun and aimed it at the woman in black.

“No one can be rude to Mister,”

The woman in black was so frightened that her body trembled and her face turned pale.”Gong … Mr. Gong … I-I didn’t mean that. I just … It’s just …”

Her legs went weak, and her tongue stiffened in fear. She could not even finish the second half of her sentence.

Gong Monan put down the teapot and looked at the woman in black. “”Who do you think you are? How dare you call yourself a guest?”

“I…”

“I thought…We are …”

The woman in black wanted to say that they were working together, but when she saw the black muzzle, she swallowed her words.

This was her first time using a real gun on the street, and also her first time being pointed at by a gun.

It was too terrifying. It was as if a bullet could shoot out of the muzzle at any time and pierce through her head.

Gong Monan looked at her with a smile as if he was looking at a junior. However, his eyes were abnormally cold and devoid of any warmth. They were like snakes, cruel and terrifying.

The woman in black felt cold under his gaze.

The cold feeling was different from when he was waiting outside the door and being blown by the cold wind.

It was as if…Under his gaze, you could feel your life slowly draining away from your body. Your body became stiff and cold, just like that … He was experiencing the feeling of walking towards death.

The woman in black finally realized that the Gong Monan she saw last time wasn’t his true self.

Perhaps he still wasn’t his real self, but he was beginning to show a little of his fearsomeness.

Just this little bit was enough to make the woman in black regret it.

She regretted coming here alone.

She had underestimated Gong Monan. Although she had heard about him from some people in the past, those rumors did not affect her at all.

Now, after experiencing it for herself, she knew that what others said was true.

” You can’t think of anything, ” Gong Monan said slowly. ” I’ve already shown you the greatest mercy by allowing you to stand in front of me…”

When the woman in black heard this, she couldn’t control her legs and fell to the ground with a thud. Her knees hit the hard floor, but she didn’t feel any pain. The fear in her heart had already overcome everything.

Although he was already prepared for the Eyes of Judgement, another layer of protection was always better.

He closed the scroll, secured it close to his person, and patted Cusius’s shoulder, saying enthusiastically: “Don’t forget, we leave at nine tomorrow.”

“Yes, Your Grace, I’m at your disposal!”
